What are Fishermen’s Nights?
They are traditional summer events held in Živogošće during the tourist season, especially in Porat, Mala Duba, and Blato. The evenings celebrate Dalmatian culture with grilled fish, local wine, music, and dancing by the sea. It’s a long-standing tradition where locals and tourists gather for a cheerful seaside festival.
What you can expect in Porat
Food & Drinks: freshly grilled fish, homemade wine, olive oil, and other local specialties. Music & Entertainment: live bands, traditional Dalmatian songs, dancing, and concerts. Atmosphere: takes place in the evening on the seafront (the riva), under the stars, with a lively and friendly vibe. Authenticity: not a tourist show, but a real community celebration where everyone joins in.

It’s about community spirit as much as the food. 4.Perfect summer vibe – The sea, music, grilled fish, and warm night air make it a classic Dalmatian experience.
